Capital Unrest - Tuesday, April 11 2006

...i woke up in the wee hours of the morning today...not quite sure where i was or what time it was; what i had to do, where i had to be...and then i figured out it was tuesday morning. i remembered what i'd done the night before and that i was going to work today...and then i went back to sleep.

there was a period of time where that happened quite frequently, but it's been a while since it last did. it makes me wonder why...maybe i'm finally getting excited about going to Japan for JET? i hadn't really thought much about it since i received my letter, but i think it's slowly starting to sink in...(yeah, i'm kinda dense like that =P)

the full extent of it probably still won't register on me until i find out exactly where my placement is (rural or urban), but i've been reading articles/notes/"good to know" stuff from the 2006 JET Handbook online and that's helped increase my enthusiasm a bit.

i start wondering where i'll end up...

"will i be up in the North on Hokkaido? where it's cold and snowy? or swimming in the tropical waters down in Okinawa? or maybe island hopping in Kyushu? how bout chilling in Yokohama, perusing shops of local skin artians?"

still, no matter where i end up, i'm sure i'll have no problem getting into all sorts of trouble adventure. i find it funny though, that one of my mom's first responses when i told her i was going to Japan was this:

me: woohoo! i'm going to Japan!

ma: really? oh...do they have the death penalty over there?



O_o

hey, what are mothers for?
